It'll be nice to have him back...but gosh, who do you take out? Nisky or Engo is my opinion, but neither has been playing poorly. Lovejoy will sacrifice some ice time as well, but dang that kid has been playing lights out.

I'd take Engelland out if it were my choice, and i think that's who it will end up being. Niskanen needs to keep skating to get into a better rhythm with the Pens system. No offense to engo, he's been great all season long. I just think Niskanen has more to offer in these tight games at the end of the season.

It's great to have this kind of a problem, though.. instead of the shuffle going on at the center position for pittsburgh

It's going to be Engelland. It has to be. Niskanen has been better than Engelland, needs more chemistry with his teammates, and they fill different roles. Orpik plays a similar physical game to the one Engelland plays, but he plays it better in every way. In order to preserve the roles, Orpik in, Engelland out.
